Hi Dave I did a 3 year aircraft technician apprenticeship but I never saw them used this way around but it might solve the problem. http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/images//fasteningsm/anf-3-16.jpg [/quote] Can't be any cheaper than this.

The glass on these Manx bodies is very thick, I can't see it pulling out. You could almost run suspension off it

I used anchor nuts and countersunk pop rivets to hold my hood, bonnet, nosecone, whatever we are going to call it. They work fine for me. pics here: http://www.far-corfe.talktalk.net/manx/21_49_135.html http://www.far-corfe.talktalk.net/manx/21_47_135.html http://www.far-corfe.talktalk.net/manx/21_5...

No big deal you might say but I was so hacked off at the end of last season when my speedo started to bang. It is the original speedo, a '68 one off year.

Ahh those long gone days. That's my ex boss "Ponky" Payne hammering the Imp around before we got him a set of big wheels and arches. He died not long ago and was still building engines until a short while before his demise. Those were the days when I could remeber things, like the differen...

Hi Mel The call was definitely with you, it was when you offered me the hardtop which I still haven't managed to get yet. Do you still have and are you going to Volksworld this year. Last year you were rushing off to do a boat show! The book idea sound slike a good one. I worked for a company called...

[QUOTE="mel hubbard"]Hi Mel you only had to ask the guy who you bought your buggy from,,,,,,,, sure he would have obliged with pics from its little offsprings,, at the time :D[/QUOTE] Mel Firstly let me say how much I admire your contribution to the buggy scene. That is why I chose you to ...

Hi Olli Thanks for the kind words about the book. There will always be those who like something and those who don't. The 60,000 words, the illustrations, photographs and research all took a lot of time and commitment and for very very little reward, so a few kind words mean a lot! Yeah yeah, winnie ...

Ahhh women drivers...

Can I come and live in The States? I paid $106.00 without p+p here in UK land:eek:.
